P h ebe Bailey Secretary . .................... . VOCATIONAL PROPHECY. Mr. Devlin took the opportunity on June the second of speaking before the Senior class on his one f'hobby, which is urging each student to choose a voca- tion before leaving High School He urged that our ambitions be high, not to be satisfied with small attainments, but ever strive to do that which is good and great in this world. Aspire to win honor and fame. At the close of his impressive talk, it was suggested that each student write out his or her choice of fl vocation and hand to Mr. Devlin. The following are the results of this investigation, and just to read over the list of vocations here mentioned will prove the aspira- tions of the coming citizens of Fort Scott, for they are indeed great and noble: ' Phebe Bailey-Professional Dancer.

TvVe Sen'ors all climbed into the Rub- berneck VVagon, so designated because of the Junior monopoly, and settled ourselves comfortably to show our ever- envious Juniors a few of the private boulevards and our zoological garden, Othick Park, before we left them for good. Oh yes, oh yesll' yelled the spieler, J. C., through his megaphone with a final Boss Coatney gurgling roar, as the auto-wagon spit and chugged on the start. We see immejiately on our left Othick Park, with the young Amazon, Buck Run. The Kansas battleship is ploughing through her waters manned with colored marines of Fort Scott High School retreating from Mexico. To your left, you see the noted ball diamond where the world's champion- ship was won last year by some of you honorable Juniors. ' Gents and Ladies, We now drive through the Wall Street Boulevard: you have heard of Fifth Avenue: the publishing house of the Saturday Even- ing Post is to your left, where one of of our honorable Seniors present, Zack VVells, does a million dollar business. Adjoining this sky scraper is the fa- mous Kington Coke Factory. At pres- ent the owner is out of town delivering a lecture on 'Why People Should Drink Coca-Colasf Oh ho! Observe the man standing on the corner to our left, reading a pa- perg he is deeply engrossedg he is riv- eted to the spot: he is spellboundg that paper he is reading, people, is the 'Bi- VVeekly.' It tells all about the new in- vention Thelma Howarth has intro- duced into our High School for signing her pass cards. 'fBehold, coming down the street, my honorable Juniors, are two of our High School faculty-one Mr. Land, the fa- mous historian, the other, Miss Gor- don, who is closely clasping her beloved Latin. See, they pause in front of the Pictureland to buy tickets for the show 'VVhy Young People Should Marry.' But what is that building over there, so magnificent in beauty? asked one of our over curious guests, Wallace R. Oth, you men will all have to take your hats off to it, said the spieler in a low, sorrowful tone. We use the past tense in speaking of that placeg it used to be the opera house. VVe now pass through Main street. Behold, on the other side of the street, we see something that affects us deeply. It is a touching sight Two men are strolling down the street, arms wrapped around each other's shoulders. They are constant companions, their affection is striking. One is Mr. Hughes, the other Mr. Bass, noted' teachers of 'Blushingf a new science in our High School. ln front, passengers all, and to the right is where the studious members of our school, Nelson Howard, Weston Roodhouse, and last but not least, Chester Gates, who they say has a re- served table for him and his lady friend after school in the afternoon, spend their fathers' money. This is Herold's Confectioneryfl 20 THE CRIMSON The carry-all swung along coming nearer the campus. This glorious build- ing, Qpointingj, rearing its head into the clouds so nobly, with its gilded dome, and wonderful arches, is the Col- lege of journalism, QF. S. H. SJ The woman who throws the headlight on Journalism with her left hand is our beloved Miss Porter. Here to our left, behold our Elec- tric Light Plant, the delight of the school. VVhat is the matter with those peo- ple at the door ? inquired Alice Snider. There's nothing to be alarmed at, said the man behind the megaphone. lt's only the Freshmen waiting for the doors to open, trying to avoid the rush. See, see, people, straight to the front. The personages coming.: down the walk with sails spread are the Com- mittee of the Pro and Con Society. Twenty paces behind this committee is another interesting sight, interesting un- der any consideration, but especially so now. It is Will Bright. He has just heard that some of the committee's best friends have made the debating team and he hasn't. The noise you hear behind you, O don't be alarmed, is made by the cook- ing girls playing ball with their bis- cuits. - As the machine neared the front of the building the Senior's attention was at- tracted by something which resembled an open-air gymnastic exhibition. A blank stare was the only answer which the spieler could give to our anxious inquiries. But of a sudden a bell tolled and we immediately understood. The spieler sorrowfully requested us to climb out of the deserted rubberneck wagon and it rolled on, while the man with the megaphone cast a perplexed glance back at the gesticulating figures, climbing over each other to get to the door, so as not to be late for classes, as if to say, You'll be a Senior, bye and bye. . -Irene Hepler.

This partic- ular one was, 'What are they doing in the next room ? just then some one came in to the fitting room next door, and was heard to cry out, Miss Penni- man, shall I extend this waist line to sixty-two inches? Some one in Mr. VVilliams' Geometry class was giving a proposition. Just as he finished with a loud Q.E.D. which was heard through the partition in Miss Walter's room, she remarked, Quite easily donefl Deep silence in the third floor Ger- man room, while the Deutschers were taking a quiz-Up through the air shaft from the girl's dressing room, a soft voice floated, Say, kid, got a powder rag? ln Cooking ll.

February 13, a real unlucky day, and heard the Fort Scott Il. S. was giving a play. Ullighee of Harvard, at Conven- tion Hall. I decided that I would not stray from my usual line of work and would therefore go down and criti- cise the home talent of Ifort Scott. I could not criticise. It was really quite good. Miss Alta Magner as Nancy lvith- row, a.ted perfectly at home on the stage, and in my conversation with her n her dressing roont, I found out that she intends going into musical comedy next year. Mary Reynolds. a school mate of Nancy's, was quite captivating and though very small, succeeded in acting very haughty at times. hlildred Rice as L'Mrs. Ballon, and rliom Masterson as l'Senator lVithrow hail two of the most diilicult parts in the play. Miss Ricels costume Was :1 creation: it might have come from some Paris shop, Donald Dewey, as the rough west- erner, NIL Higbeef' kept the audience laughing every time he appeared. John Crider as I.oren Higlneef' made the hit of the evening. XVe ex- peit to see him rise in the theatrical world. Hal lNIacon as Dalrymple.

The Man in the Moon-of course ltwas in June, Fell in love with a maid here below, But he in despair Was up in the air, And so could not show her he cared. He finally tho't, as Moony Men 4'-uglit, Of sending the lady a note, So he pulled at his hair, And told how much he cared. And these are the words that he wrote: Oh, Lady, my dear, the beauty of you, Nothing, no nothing could improveg But the stars up here Are not able to draw, Like the light of your dfreamy eyes do. The Moonbeams are bringing this mes- sage tonight, They are bringing it straight to you: It's the chance of your life, Be a brilliant man's wife, And send back the message, I do. But the Maiden replied, No, it canlt be denied, That the Man in the Moon is both hand- some and bright: But it's nix for you, I'll have nothing to do With a Man that stays out all night. So that is why the Moon is still out, As handsome and bright as ever, But only to think, He has taken to drink, And stays full during whole days and nights. . -Wfzwe Htrplfer. I 'I'III' CRIMS F .

Ilelen Campbell. lfor some time there had been talk of organizing two societies to promote interest, and for the purpose of a contest since there could be none with other schools. .X debate was :liven before the as- sembly on November 26th, for the pur- pose of increasing membership and gaining the support of the student body. The question of debate was: Resolved that vocational rather than academic training! should be given the preference in the schools in our city. Those on the allirmative were .lohn Crider and Mildred Rice. Those on the negative, Ilarry Yan Veller and Ilelen Camp- bell. The decision rendered by the and .Xllen and I'rofessor Smith, was in favor of the allirmative. On December 23d a special program was given in the Study Ilall, which was ipen to all. blany of the members and visitors were called upon for short speeches and toasts on various subjects, and in addition refreshments of peanuts and candy were served by the girls of the club. These various features of interest and instruction led up to the tlivision of the society into the l'rometheans, under the leadership of Ilarry Yan Yelzer. and the .-Xthenians under blildred Rice, which occurred .lanuary 13th. In the Assembly Ifriday, lfebruary 1-Ith. the Athenian division submitted the following challenge: Vve, the .fXthenians, do hereby chal- Ienge the I'rometheans to a literary con- test to be held in the lligh School .Nudi- torium not later than the 22d dray of lNIay, l9l-l. It shall consist of debate. declamation. oration, esay and vocal music. The arrangements for said contest are to be placed in the hands of a com- mittee of live persons, two from the Prometheans, two from the .-Xthenians and one member of the faculty. In making this challenge we, the judges, the Reverend INIessrs. Satterlee THE CRIMSON 33 Athenians, do give the Prometheans one week in which to accept or reject our challenge. Mildred Rice, Edwin McElvain, Julia Kennedy, Frank Harpold, Committee. Immediately the Prometheans accept- ed the challenge: We, the Prometheans, considering ourselves inferior to no literary society, and eager to prove our superiority to the Athenians, hereby accept the chal- lenge tendered us by them to a literary contest, the details of which are to be arranged for, as stated in the aforesaid challenge. Harry Van Velzer, John Crider, Helen Campbell, Hubert Kennedy, Committee. The contestants are diligently prepar- ing and the contest will equal any that has been given before. The best literary people in school will take part and much is known of their ability as orators, de- baters, declaimers and essayists. Mr. Williams has been critic for Pro and Con and all have profited! by his re- marks and suggestions and his drills in parliamentary rules. JOHNSON CONVICTED. The trial of Lewis Johnson for the murder of Emil Liston was one of the most sensational cases ever tried in the Pro and Con Court. It is alleged. that Johnson, a student in the High School, on the night of February 17th, wilfully stabbed and killed Em-il Liston, an instructor, with no other purpose than to obtain 3320.00 that Mr. Liston had in his possession. Johnson, it is said, had gambled and lost, and having borrowed money from Mr. Ralph Moore, took the money from Liston to pay the debt. The attorneys for the defense, Mc- Elvain, Hobbs an-d Harpold, put forth a brilliant argument for the young man. But the County Attorney, lVlr. Van Vel- zer, assisted by Attorney Crider, brought out the evidence so clearly against him that the jury declared him guilty of first degree murder, but asked leniency on account of age. The pris- oner was placed in the hands of Sheriff Daly to await Judge Bright's sentence. Sentiment seemed to be with hlr. John- son. But the jury, composed of Har- key, Griflith, Brundidge, Kite, Speak- man and Kaylor, cast away all senti- ment. LISTEN, MY CHILDREN. lVly classmates, l've noticed with sorrow- ful heart, Have long neglected their pen and their art. Their knowledge, their mind at random doth run, And they fain would leave school before they've begun. Stay, stay, with your school: you'll suf- fer no loss, For a stone that keeps rolling will gather no moss. Remember, my children, those things you are taught, Are priceless in value and cannot be bought. Those things that you learn may come in good stead, For the salaries are largest when you work with your head. Stay, stay with your school: you'll suffer no loss, For a stone that keeps rolling will gather no moss. - GUM CHEWERS' CLUB. ClVIotto: Chew on! Chew onl J Chief Chewer-Merwyn VVoodson.

THE CRIMSON 35 DER DEUTCHE VEREIN. Der Deutche Verein was organized October 15, 1913, for the sixth year of its career, with a membership of twen- ty-five. The time set for meeting was every Nlonday at 3:30. The oflicers were: President-Katharine Cross. Vice-President-Anna Kennison. Secretary-Jessie Daly. Treasurer-Arnstina Cissna. The lessons from lm Vaterland were conducted by Miss Pressler, Miss Wal- ters andl Miss Seagrave, and were un- usually interesting. The members have gained a knowledge of German customs and German conversation that for lack of time, could not be obtained in the class room. The lives of favorite Ger- man composers has been an interesting part of the program. The club this year, has been most successful ,due to the enthusiasm with which the members took up the work and responded to their part in the pro- gram when called upon. lt was also largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Walters and Miss Pressler. ' One of the most enjoyable features of the club has been their social days, which were held once a month. All the usual Work was laid asidle and the mem- bers enjoyed themselves playing Ger- man games. At the close of the meet- ing light refreshments were served by the club, the social committee acting as hostesses. German Club Enlertaimnwzl.

This is my first day at F. S. H. S. Got lost and when I inquired for Miss Seagraveh room was told to go to room 23. It was full of upper classmen and they fairly roared at my amazement. Tuesday, September 23. Wore a bully green tie to school this morning, for somebody said that green was the Freshies' color. The first boy I met called me Greenhorn and a few oth- er things. VVe had a fight and I have a black eye in consequence. I'll never wear that green tie again. ' Wednesday, September 24. Prof. told us to spend two hours on our alge- bra. Sat on mine for the required time and read a good novel. It was rather uncomfortable. Thursday, September 25. My lack of knowledge made the Prof. suspicious and he wormed a confession out of me. YVas sent to the office and came out feel- ing rather dazed, and with five eight- periods to make up. Friday, September 26. Had General Exercise today. Principal made a few remarks and slammed the Freshmen. At the close of the exercises the Prin- cipal stretched out his hands as though about to pronounce a benediction. I thereupon bowed my head respectfully. No words were uttered, however, and I looked up to find myself alone in the hall and the last of the students disap- pearing through the door. Saturday and Sunday. Nothing hap- pened of importance. Monday, September 29. Met the bulliest girl today. Was told that to be a sport one must suck all-day suckers Well, I got some and. with some of my friends started for school. You ought to have heard those people laugh, even the faculty. Tuesday, September 30. Saw a foot- ball game today. Think I'll go out to practice tomorrow. Wednesday, October l. ......... . Thursday, October 2. Am home in bed. VVent to football practice yester- day and can't get up. Friday, October 3. General Ex. again today and it was awfully dull. Go- ing home this noon, I ran into a crowd of boys fighting dreadfully over a black and yellow Hag. Weil I got mixed up in it somehow and consequently feel pretty much bunged up. Saturdlay and Sunday. Spent most of the time getting over that fracus. Monday, October 6. It leaked out that weld have a shot-gun quiz in his- tory. The whole class came without pencil and paper. All undaunted, the Prof. sent down to the office for the bummest paper and pencils you ever saw. 4' Tuesday, October 7. Asked by Jun- ior friend who Socrates was. I was told that he built the Suez Canal. When Prof. asked me who Socrates was I re- peated the information. I wonder why they all laughed? YVednesdav, October 8. Actually had Gym. today for the Hrst time. Couldnt get my hands and feet straightened out. They mixed up dreadfully. Thursday, October 9. My grades are something fierce. Am going to burn the midnight o'l tonight and see if I can't catch up on my Latin. Friday, October IO. Skipped Gen- eral Ex. today with another guy. It was really worth the risk. Came back for the afternoon session. Was scared to death every time I saw the principal coming in my direction. Didn't get caught, though. Have decided to stop keeping this old thing.

Athletics each year is becoming more prominent in the High School, not only because of better equipment, but the students are taught the scientific side and the value of athletics to High School pupils. The first day school opened the stud- ents of the Fort Scott High School real- ifed that a dream they had long wished for had come true. This dream maybe said to be the gym and its instructors. The Board of lidlucation has built a line gym and it is equipped with the best of apparatus. The instructors are the best to be found. For the last three years athletics in the High School have been on the down grade, owing to the poor facilities the athletes have had for preparing their training. But after the new building was erected the Board of lfducation pro- vided ample means for scientific train- ing. This year the interest that the stud- ents took in the athletics was surpris- ing. All the games were Well attended and the Athletic Association 'was able to bring the best teams in the state to lfort Scott. Coach l-iston purchased the linest suits that could be obtained for the athletes and there was not a team that appeared on the local courts which were as well equipped. Coach l-iston set a precedent in school this year by giving letters to the athletes for their honorable services on the teams. This has caused more Wil- lingness among the boys to work for the success of the teams and it has also created a spirit of loyalty to the school. There were thirteen boys in football and eight in basket ball, who receive-.l their letters. THE VVICARICRS Ulf' THE lf. Red. Lowell Van Brunt, lfirle Schumaker.

For the past six years the High School has been without football: al- though the students have been making ellorts to have the School Board rein- state it. XVhen Mr. l.iston was secured as athletic instructor he was an enthusi- astic supporter of this branch of sport, and it was through him that football was placed back in the school. 40 THE CRIMSON After a month of school had passed Coach Liston issued a call for football players, and about thirty turned out for practice. All these men knew absolute- ly nothing about the game and there- fore Coach l.iston had his trouble in teaching them the fine points of the game. Alfter two weeks of steady work in which there was little signal practice or scrimmage, the team played their Hrst game. Coach Liston matched this game to give the men experience and had no hope of winning, but the players proved that they had the spirit of the school in them and overcame a lead and won the game. . Although the team did not win the majority of the games at the first of the season, they surprised their supporters in the hard battles that they put up against their opponents. After a few weeks the players began to learn the line points of the game. Toward the last of the season they were winning all their games, and the scores were so large that there was no doubt that the home team was superior to them. At the last of the season the Athletic Association was in debt, so Coach Lis- ton matched a game with the Has Beensn for Thanksgiving Day. This game was advertised extensively and al- though the day was disagreeable, six hundred enthusiasts turned out to wit- ness the battle. The High School team did themselves proud and won this game by a large score. The following are the games played: The following are the players who rreceived letters: Roodhouse, half back. Macon, full back. Woodson, quarter back. Coatney, half back. johnson, half back and end. Kington, quarter back and end. Van Brunt, center. Dunham, guard. Gates, guard and tackle. Schumaker, guard.

The boys, under the train- ing of Mr. Liston, started out the first of the year by defeating some of the fastest teams in the state. The first game that they lost was to the fast Re- no County team. which has twice won the state championship, but the score was very close, and the boys had been out of training for two weeks and it is no Wonder that they went down to de- feat. They lost two games to Iola shortly afterwards and then won about seven straight games. On February 5 the Southeastern Kan- sas Teachers' meeting was held in this city. ln connection with this meeting a basket ball tournament was held, and there were seventeen boys' teams enter- ed. The prelminaries started at the Y. M. C. A. on the morning of the Sth and in the first game Fort Scott defeated Parsons by a decisive score. In the fol- THE CRIMSON 41 lowing games they outpointed Hum- boldt and Grenola, but the latter team put up a hard fight and it was only through sheer pluck that the Fort Scott boys won the game. The Independ- ence team had won three straight games and so this left Fort Scott and Inde- pendence in the finals, The big game was staged that night at the Conven- tion Hall hefore an audience of fifteen hundred people. The championship game started off with a rush but the Fort Scott team was leading the score. The first half ended 26 to 16 with Fort Scott on top, but the second half the Independence team found their stride and took the lead. The home team made a game fight and finally pulled out on top with a score of 41 to 36. This gave the team the Southeastern Kansas championship and a fine loving cup. The girls of the High School ,did not enter the contest for the S. E. K. cham- pionship as there was no effort made to work up a contest team, owing to the decision of the Board of Education that they should not play out of town games. There were ten girls' teams entered in the meet here, and the Parsons girls carried off the cup, after defeating the Weir City team in the finals. The next event in the basket ball line was at Baldwin, where an elimina- tion contest was held to see what team Went to Newton to play. Our team ar- rived at Baldwin February 27, early in the morning. The first game played was with Pomona at 9:30, and the score showed that it was an easy game from start to finish. The second game we played was with Wellsville, which also gave Fort Scott the largest end of the score. The next game was with Osa- Watomieg this was an easy game, the score being 60-13, so Coach Liston took the players out and used substitutes to save the players for the final test. In the morning the team was scheduled to play Baldwin. The boys found that the team was good and put all their en- ergy 'forward to win this game and it lessened their strength for the final game that was to be played with Law- that afternoon. Fort Scott won Baldwin by a score of 60-26. rence from They then had to play Lawrence in the finals. The game started off at the be- ginning very rough, as much depended in this game. At the end of the first half the score was 12 to 12. But in the second half Lawrence came out ahead, winning by a score of 31 to 19. The Fort Scott team after its defeat was en- tertained by the Sig Ma Phi Epsilon fraternity at Baldwin. The Fort Scott team picked unluck- ily in this tournament and had to play one more game than the other teams. This weakened them very much for the decisive battle for the championship. But the Fort Scott basket hall team has the honor of being the only team in the state that defeated the state champions. This game was won at Lawrence by the score of 34-35. On March 22d another tournament was held at Lawrence, but Fort Scott did not get to go, owing to the lack of funds in the Athletic treasury. lt was practically sure that Liston's men would have craried off the honors at this meet, as they were picked for the winners at that place. The coaches of the teams in the state admited that the local team should have been champions. The fol- lowing list are the games played this year: December 19-Nevada at Fort Scott.

S. this year to carry off any cups that were lying around loose. The Senior girls are bound to be in style, regardless of price. This trophy, which was presented by Rodecker Brothers. had to be bought by a half dozen girls working together all the time, in all the games. No one or two girls could or did win it: the whole team made the scores. The best sports of all are those girls who prac- ticed the winning team without any hopes of sharing the honor. The Juniors have still another chance, and if they wish to leave school with their name on the cup next year, they will have to get busy. The Sophomores played in poor luck but next year they expect to give some one else that reputation. The Freshmen played well this year. We believe all they wanted was to pre- pare us for what is coming next Year. In fact, next year they are planning to make themselves quite a name in thc basket ball world. TENNIS. Now that we are in our new build- ing. we are able to enjoy our greatest sport-tennis. This is the most harm- less and best of recreation for both young and old. The large campus that surroundls the school furnishes plenty of room for courts. The Athletic Asso- ciation has made three and will have two more up before the end of the year. Tennis was never played much before in the school, but the rage has taken hold of the students-and, listen, a se- I M S O N 45 cret-the faculty plays, toog and they are training 'for a tournament to be held later on. To look at a game of tennis, some may think it more of a game of luck than of science, but let him who things so play but one game. Tennis corresponds with everything, as the wise man with his fluency of Eng- lish said: I would rather love what I cannot have than have what I cannot love. Also to the wise tennis cham- pion with his racket: I would rather have 15 love, than love 15. TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETICS. Track athletics this year was below the average of the past years, and why? Because the athletes lacked a Held for training. ln this little sentence lies the whole reason why Fort Scott dzid not add a few more trophies to their num- ber this year. Fort Scott in the years gone by was considered one of the best track and lield cities in the state of Kansas, and was not only considered so, but proved to be from every point. The largest trophy that stands in the Auditorium to- day was won in a field meet. The track work is very important because it brings out the individual strength of the school, and it should be strongly sup- ported by every student and teacher, who should do their part in trying to se- cure a field for the training next year. An invitation was received from the Allen County Athletic Association to a track meet to be held at Iola. So a crowd of students who were in for this branch of clean sport got together and sent a team over. They had but little training, but came back with a good showing considering the fact that sev- eral records were broken. The Gladi- ators who represented Fort Scott were: Iowell Van Brunt, Paul Swain, Clair Harkey, Field Brundidge, Earnest Har- ris, and VVeston Roodhouse. It is hoped next year that this sport will be taken up in earnest on the new held that the Board of Education and the students are going to provide. if T JT -side' 46 THF CRIMSON PROSl'l'fCTS FOR NICXT YEAR. The athletic outlook is very good in every branch of sport for next year, as nearly all the men that played on the teams during this season will be in suit again next year. The boys had a hard time n breaking into the new school building, so it put them a little back in the sport line, but now that they have settled down to work, there will be some championship teams turned out. lt is very probable that Mr. I.ist0n. the athletic director, will he here again next year, and this will make it a great deal better for the boys, as he knows their good points, and can place them on the teams accordingly. The football prospects are exception- ally bright for the coming season. and when the frost again touches the earth, we hope to have one of the fastest teams in the state. It was very hard to get the football material into shape this season. as Mr. Liston, the coach, was new to the school, and the boys were new to the game. After much hard work, Mr. I.iston got the athletes into shape, and toward' the last of the season, the team was a credit to the school. When the call for material comes at the opening of next term. the men will report for duty, knowing the fine points of the game, and it Will only take a few days to get them into shape. It is hoped to Win the Southeastern Kansas champion- ship at least for the coming year. The basket ball outlook is better next year than it has been at any time in the history of the Fort Sgott High School. This year the team did exceedingly well, and it was only through a bit of hard luck that the team did not win the state championship. For the coming year Kington and Coatney will in all probability be off the team, but in the meantime Spence will corne back. and it is possible that Cecil Charles will im- prove enough to take the place of Coat- ney. One thing that makes the prospects look good for football and track is the hope that there will be a High School Athletic Ground by the time school starts again. The matter has been tak- en up before the School Board several times, and it is practically certain that they will purchase one. The students have been kept in suspense for several months,'andl although the Board has picked the grounds they have not an- nounced where it will be located yet.

The staff takes great pleasure in pre- senting the Annual Commencement number ofthe Crimson for 1914, to the students, faculty, and friends of the Fort Scott High School. VVhile this Annual is called a Senior publication, we want it understood that ...gu- s f 1 the Senors did not get it out alone. It would be a hard proposition for the Seniors, however mighty their intellect and brilliant their executive ability, to get out an annual of this size but it is not so hard, when these Seniors are backed by three hundred and fifty loyal boosters. The co-operation and hard work of students and faculty produced this Annual. All this year there has been a feeling of loyalty and oneness shown in our school life. Perhaps this is due to the influence of our splendid new building, and partly perhaps to the infusion of some of Mr. l.iston's fa- mous Baker Pepfl lVe wish to thank every one who has stood behind the Annual, and pushed. lVe not only want to thank those who contributed material so generously, but those also who hustled for subscriptions and advertising. VVe are especially grateful to bliss Alice Porter, the Sup- ervisor of Drawing, who did the art work for us. To produce such work takes time, patience and ability. lve hope, and that is all we can do, that this annual will please everyone. IF we please half the people, we will be satisfied, because you ean't please all the people all of the time. Now, as the 52 THE CRIMSON Annual is finished, the staff joins hands and sings the little ditty, written by some suffering editor: Before on the staff again we'd be VVe'd drown ourselves in the -deep blue seag To some far off cannibal isle we'd flee, And let the savages make hash of we. lf puffs of powder are considered the sign of war, then would not the High School be considered a battle field? VVe dare not ask the teachers on the Hrst floor why the hall on that floor is called I-over's Lane. It seems to be a delicate subject. Have all the teachers of the High School leagued themselves into a trust? Someone certainly has a monopoly upon excused pass cards, and we are sure the students are not guilty. There would be several deaths in High School, if that old saying were true: A broken looking-glass means a death. Cupid has certainly done his part to- wards our faculty. Imagine a teacher of the I . S. H. S. neither married, en- gaged, nor deeply in love. Some people evidently follow the maxim: Do others, as they do you. If all the people in High School were as averse to notes as the history stud- ents, would all the desks be full of pieces of paper? The Senior class' motto is: It is cheaper to move than to pay rent. In their famous High School career. they have gone to school in three different buildings, and have had three different principals. I F. G.: Something is preying on my mind. J. P.: It must be pretty hungry. 1 i ADVERTISING PAYS. If the merchants could only hear one of Mr. VVilliams' stories on, lt pays to advertise, they would certainly get the habit, so to speak. Oh, you dfm't know the story? It is told like this. fn brief: Scene-Country school room. Teacher: Pass to the board and write a statement on the board. After the class had been seated, the teacher began to correct the statement. Stopping at one signed by John, she sternly inquired, john, did you write that sentence ? The answer came in a weak, trembling, frightened tone, Yes'm. CThe sentence was: I can beat any fellow here hugging. l The boy was informed that he should remain after school. John's schoolmates decided to loiter near the building that night to receive the news as' to Iohn's punishment. After one hour's waiting John slowly came out of the building but was ap- parently in good spirits. He was overwhelmed with questions: Did she hurt you ? What did she do ? Do you feel very bad ? But the only satisfaction they receiv- ed from John was: It pays to advertise, fellows! PUZZLING PROBLEMS.

In the first issue of the Bi-VVeekly Crimson the reasons for introducing a semi-monthly paper into the Fort Scott High School were given. They were ex- plained as follows, and we shall allow each person to decide for himself to what extent each reason has been proven good or bad: ln introducing into the Fort Scott High School a semi-monthly paper, or news sheet, the High School is undertak- ing a new proposition. This change from the old custom of having an Annual only or a monthly magazine and an in- ferior Annual, has been prompted by several considerations. Such a paper will be of great advan- tage in that it will afford an opportunity for editorial practice to those students who have any desire to enter such work, and will enable them to learn from ac- tual practice the first principles of jour- nalism. lf, as we hope, the future Senior classes continue and improve upon this paper from year to year, such interest and enthusiasm will be aroused that the school may at length obtain its ovfn printiztg press and all the work may be done by the students. This would pro- vide for even more extensive study and practice of journalism. A great objection to having an An- nual only or even a monthly magazine is that interest is not kept up and it is very difficult to obtain sufficient material. Then, too, the material cannot be news, but merely past events retold. The ma- terial of this paper will consist of High School news and discussions of such subjects as will be of interest to the students and those connected with it in any way. We hope by this means to in-- terest the citizens of Fort Scott in the High School and its work. Last year, because of the fact that we had no school paper, we were unable to exchange with other schools. This year, however, we will be able to do so. lt will be a great advantage to t hus keep in touch with other schools and learn of their progress and compare it with our own. This news sheet will interfere in no way with the Annual. On the contrary, it will keep up the interest of the stu- dents and enable us to put out a better Annual than has ever before appeared. The Bi-Weekly staff has worked hard fbut not tirelesslyj on the paper, and have attempted to arouse interest in it and make it a success. The hope that the future Senior classes will continue and improve upon this paper from year to year, still stands. We hope that each class will profit by the other's mistakes until at length there can be no more to make. The staff of the class of 1914 bequeaths to the future staff of the class of 1915 their many mistakes, and ask that they fthe mistakesj be frequently taken from the safe and examined care- fully in order that they may be recog- nized when itlley appear and beckon fiendishly. Let them take this as a warn. ing and especially beware lest they allow one bit of news to escape their notice, for every little bit added to what you have makes just a little bit more. and? a bi-weekly seems to be forever calling for more-one line, one paragraph, one col- umn. For two of the best issues of the paper we were indebted to the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Each class got out a fine and interesting paper, and the reg- ular staff was indeed grateful for the two brief vacations given it. 'Um MTNM V Q 0 'gre i' e is L '1 ', ' 0 1 'Tu R.

Don't forget! How many times have you heard that call in the dusk of a Spring, Summer, or Autumn evening, as you turn in at your gate after planning for a tramp in the country for the next day, after spring flowers, wild strawberries, nuts or persimmons or what ever the season may allure you with? Suppose it is a summer evening and you and your friend have planned a fishing trip to Chester's Bend or Bascomb Creek. It is not only the fish you are going for, but the pleasure of the out-of-doorsg it is the many curious, new, or perhaps fa- miliar plants, insects, birds or small ani- mals you may see. As you are prepar- ing for sleep you go to the window and look out over the broad lawn so chang- ed by the moonlight, but you do not now notice the sparkling dew-drops on the grass and garden, or the call of the frogs somewhere off there, or the twit- ter of a night bird, but only the pleasure of tomorrow or the danger of sleep. Very soon, as it seems to you, you are awakened somehow, by instinct per- haps, and you sleepily dress and go quietly down into the kitchen, where Mother, looking bright and fresh, has prepared your breakfast and lunch. When you have secured! your bait you go by for your chum, carrying your paraphernalia and also a bucket for berries. You have got well out of town by sunrise and soon reach the fishing hole. The hooks are baited, and the poles are set, and you wait-but not long-for a bite. In about an hour you have caught about twenty fish, but then the fish fail to bite as well as at first, or perhaps you have grown impatient, and you think about the blackberries you saw as you came, and you tramp over the rocks to where the bushes are loaded with the splendid big berries. After hiding your filled buckets in a nook between some rocks, you chase a rabbit for a ways, and hunt around for quails' nests which curiously enough you can't find, al- though many calls of Bob White can be heard, and? the birds are seen every- where. But stop! can it be true? You sit motionless on the top rail of the fence you are climbing, and looking into the rank crab grass and vines, ,see some- thing round and green and slick, with little drops of dew-like beads still in it. You are in a watermelon patch! Instinctively, you both look about. There is no one watching except a red- headed woodpecker in the top of a dead pine, and the nearest house is about a half mile off. Both of you drop down on the other side and hunt until you hnd one with stripes on it like a rattlesnake. Then you cut it with your big knife, and the red mellow sweetness is so good that you must have another. Now you don't feel much like tramping farther, so for the remainder of the morning, you sit under a big shady tree and watch a column of ants, or skip stones in the water, or just dream and wait until you feel the need of the lunch. In the af- ternoon you fish a little more, find a clear, shallow spot for wading, obtain quite a collection of birds' eggs, and finally eat another melon, which, of course, is not so delicious as the Hrst. You reach home in the evening too tired for supper, and after washing you tum- ble right into bed. EIGHT-TWENTY Suddfenly, quickly, With a loud ding, The eight-twenty bell Is beginning to ring. Put aside foolishness I And get out your books, Study your lessons . And donlt mind your looks. No voice in the Study, No sound in the hall, Silence and industry Reign over all. 56 'VIIIC CRIMSON ,H W. E'.'f2 , .

IIII' CRIMSON A 'FAME LION AGGIE Hilfe 'THE .0 L 1: Cl 'P VOICE K, EONDEMNED 'A TE-D THE CR A CHRISTMAS LEGEND. Long ago, in the good old days of hearty cheer, late one winter afternoon a youth carrying an axe crunched along a whitened forest path in the North of England. He was a lean, awkward boy, wrapped in a heavy woolen cloak, from under which protruded stem-like legs of dirty yellow. A shapeless hat, decorat- ed by a broken feather, illy concealed his miatfed, yellow hair. His big round eyes appeared to be peering at his long beak nose, while his broad mouth seem- ed agape at what they saw. ln the di- rection in which he was going, a castle could be seen through the trees, its tow- ers standing out sharp and yellow in the rays o'f the setting sun. lt was a typ- ical mediaeval castle, built of stone, gray and chill. It had been constructed long before its present lord had come to live there, and had, like most of these ancient structures, witnessed many eventful scenes. But long before even it was built, St. Joseph, traveling through the country, so tradition said, had' planted a thorn staff, which had taken root, and bloomed annually just at Christmas time. lt was now a mas- sive tree, near the castle, and was the pride of the country round. I Our friend, whose name was Geof- frey, and who was a serf, under Rod- eric the present lord, threaded his way to a postern gate, and soon found him- self in the kitchen, a huge savory smell- ing room, where all manner of boiling, baking and roasting was going on, for Christmas was but two days off. Geof- frey approached a dfuddy man, busily trying a huge side of pork, and glee- fully whispered something in his ear. The other became very serious. When an inquiry crowd gathered, he shook his head gravely, and sent a dirty urchin scampering off, who returned presently on the shoulder of a merry, gaily dress- ed fellow, whose bells jingled lightly as he danced into the room. The jester, IMSON , 61 for which he was led aside by the fright- ened sewer, and he, too, grew serious at what he was told. After a whispered consultation the jester made his way through echoing stone passageways to a large hall. A very little pale light Hltered through the window slits, but the tapers were not yet burning, and the only light came from a crackling hre of logs in the gap- ing fire-place. Before this, in a huge oak chair was seated Roderic, a massive man of fair complexion. The fool approach- ed, and without introduction explained the difficulty. Geoffrey, the simple groom, had cut down the historic thorn tree, for a yule log, as a surprise for his master. Roderic tensely grasped' the arms of the chair, and in the flick- ering light, grew first red, then pale. But finally with an effort he controlled himself and spoke calmly. It would -do no good to punish the boy, who was probably frightened badly enough any- way. There would be no rejoicing, no feasting, no gathering of the country round, and thereafter all would he hushed at the castle at yule tide, in pen- itence for the crime. The man of mirth, now very grave, returned to see that the lord's orders were carried out. The following evening at about the same time, Roderic sat alone in front of a smouldering bed of embers, enwrap- ped in thought as before, all was hush- ed and cheerless. Suddenly a quick tread sounded through the corridor. The noble turned, frowning to see who had dared to make this intrusion, and found it to be his faithful counseller, the jester. Not heeding his scowling master he hastily informed the knight of the Miracle: Geoffrey, much abash- ed, had returned to the tree, and find- it still erect, with its boughs caught in those of its neighbors, had patted a lit- tle earth around the trunk where it had been severed, in the futile hope that it might grow. And now, Miracle of Miracles!

A recent inci- cident bears out this assertion. The deepest snow of the season had disappeared, leaving in its stead an oozy, sticky mud which made the much despised rubbers a necessity. Down the street a popular young junior came. striding intent on overtaking a Senior who was fully a block ahead. But some- thing lying at his feet arrested his atten- tion. It was the muddiest of rubbers, yet despite the mud it belonged to a dainty foot: it must be the property of the friend ahead. There was but one thing to do. Picking up the muddy rubber he hastened, with all speed, to overtake the owner, Indifferent to the curious glances of the passers-by, he hurried on and presently overtook the object of his pursuit. I say,'! he accosted his fair friend, 'you'd better stop and let me put your other rubber on. The Senior gave one glance at the radiant face and the out- stretched hand so gingerly holding the rescued trophy, then burst into a peal of laughter, and pointed' to her feet- both incased in the neatest fitting of rubbers. Needless to say the smile faded: the offending rubber was -dropped like a hot coal, and persons wishing to retain the friendship of this genial Junior should refrain from any illusions to foot wear designed for muddy weather.

Well, you'll have to throw out your feet, what do you think this is, anyway, a rest cure ? At these words the figure in the chair slowly rose and blinked dully at the bright lights. Get a move on you, afore I call the 'bull.' ' This time the tramp looked at the bouncer, decided discretion was the better part of valor, and shuffled to the door. By the clock in the res- taurant just evacuated, he saw that it was nearly mid-night. As he started- for the railroad yards the chill wind struck him and he shiver- ed as he drew his shabby coat closer to him. He walked slowly up to the depot and peered inside. How warm it seemed! He opened the door, saw a brass buttoned' guardian of the law standing by the stove, and changed his mind. Far in the distance he heard the whistle of an approaching train. He turned and slunk stealthily through the yards till he came to where the track was crossed by another road, at which junction there was a small station, but which had long been abondoned as a telegraph oHice, and was used only as a loafing place for railroaders. To- night, however, the place was desert- nd. Trying the door, and finding it unlocked, he slipped inside. Here at least, was protection from the wind. Soon the headlight from the ap- proaching engine began glimmering nn the walls of the station and he knew that it was about time for him to be moving. He silently opened the door and as the great mogul roared by he made a dash for the tender. Swing- ing easily into the blinds, he came full upon two charter members of the Hobo's Union, who were as sur- prised as he was. One surveyed him for an instant, and then asked, 'Well, what's the chance to get out of this ? Oh, pretty good, I reckon, was the reply from the tramp. Again both took 14.4.-nw.-... In 3 , .. Air . him under surveillance. Ain't you a 'mug?' UNO. The questioner looked re- lieved. Oh. Where you goin'?' Just anywhere. Where you P came from the tramp. We're goin' South. See? We thought you was a 'mugf See? We're lookin' for work. See?' A,fter this brief greeting they rode along in Silence. Then, Ever been along here before ? asked the tramp. No from the spokesman: You? The tramp shook his head. TheV're pretty hard on you at Munroe, first subdivision, I heard, he saidi. At this, his companions seemed more interest- cd. At where did you say? At Munroe, first subdivision, he repeated, We'll have to get down. Thevlll search the train.' Being a through passenger train, it only stopped at divisions and sub- divisions. As -they passed through town after town, the tramp became conscious of an aching void in the region of his solar plexus. Reaching into his pocket with a dirty, grimy hand, he withdrew it holding a dirty, grimy, stale crust, which had been given him two days before in a hand- out by a kind lady to whom he had made an appeal of want. He was a most pitiable sight. His face was drawn and pinched with hunger which was seldom satished. Some coal 'dust which got into his lungs threw him in- to a paroxysm of coughing, and as be bent over, something dropped on the hand which supported his body. Hold- ing it up, he examined it by the glare of the furnace the next time the fire- man opened the door to feed his en- gine. VVhen he found it to be a small drop of blood he turned ghastly pale, for' none knew better than he what it meant. Bugs, he thought, and look- ed quickly at his companions, but they had not noticed it. They were talking busily between themselves. He was startled from his thoughts THE CRIMSON 77 by the prolongedi scream of the en- gine, and, thrusting his head out, he perceived what he knew to be a city of some size, by the lights which were spread over a large area. Here, then, was Munroe, the City of Ter- ror. As the train slowed down, he and his companions descended and were quickly swallowed up in the dark- ness. Where they went, he did not know, or care. The golden rule of the road was to look out for No. l. He started ahead to look for a place to remount his iron horse, when his eye alighted upon a suspicious-look- ing individual in a slouch hat and mackinaw, standing on the platform. He dodged behind a car, but the sus- picious-looking individual had already caught a glimpse of him. He, too, slipped away. The tramp had no sooner hidden himself than the train began to pull out. He again gathered himself, as he had done many times before, and when the engine cab had passed, he made a lunge for the handle on the tender. But a rough hand was laid on his shoulder, and a rougher voice said. I want you. He did not stop, how- ever, and was almost safely on the train, when he felt a terrible rap on the roof, and then all was still. When he awoke, he was lying on a hard mattress, aching all over from his cramped position, and one glance around the room sufficed to show him where he was. The 'coop' U was all he said. Another glance at his mat- tress showed him that he was not the only inhabitant of the cell. His head felt as though he was suffering fromi an acute attack of domus balloonicusfl By his sense of touch, he discovered it it to bandaged. Must have been to .1 saw-bones, he thought. But he took it all as a matter of course. It was not the first time, anyway. Turning on his bed he saw on a table beside it a glass of water, which he eagerly drank. Soon he began to feel better, his headache commenced to leave, and by afternoon he felt all right except for a slight buzzing in his head. The frugal, but wholesome breakfast and dinner were much beter than his crust of bread, and after his fashion he was grateful. His case was called at three o'clock, the last thing before police c0urt was adjourned. He was charged with vag- rancy, and as he knew it was a clear case, he pleaded guilty. Ten days, said the judge, but I'll sus- pend sentence and give you thirty min- utes to get out of town. Judging from the way he left the court room. he would have about twenty-nine min- utes to spare is the manner in which the Munroe Doctrine commented commented upon it. But the tramp knew from experience that there was no particular hurry about it. From the time-table he learn- ed that No. 1, the limited, was due out at eight-twenty. Eight-eighteen found him waiting again at the scene of his inglorious defeat. He knew that his friend would not be look- ing for him again, though. Once more he heard the laborious puffing of the engine, but by the time it got to him he was safely hidden behind the same box car, and it had picked up consider- able speed. He made a jump and seized 'fthe handle, but the step. was slippery with some coal tar which had dried on it, and his feet slipped off. The Weight of his body, comiing so un- expectedly, was too much for his hold, and for one awful instant he dangled in the air. Then- He was buried next day: unknown. unmourned, uncared for, nobody but a tramp. l was looking back to see If she was looking back to see If I was looking back to see If she was looking back at me.-Ex. li CRIMS THE CRIMSON The members of the Senior Class wish to express their ap- preciation of the business firms, whose generous patron- age in advertising has so ma- terially assisted in putting out this Annual.
